We'd like to participate in the Google Summer of Code, or at least submit a proposal to be accepted as a mentoring organization. What things do you guys think would be good candidates to put on our suggested projects page?

For instance:

* memories/bookmarks overhaul
* scheduled/draft posts
* GUI-izing the config/install process
* revamping the community maintainership model to Not Suck(tm)
* ...

Ideas?

EDIT: LJ's old Summer of Code page

Hmm... I'd also propose a lot of projects that are going to be pretty closely tied to someone who's learning about Computer Science. I don't have any ideas right off the bat, but something that exercises algorithms and similar science stuff.

Trust metrics, six degrees, "relatedness", various other calculable things we could potentially do.

Oh, good ideas!

In-house journal statistics (ala Google Analytics, only done with our own referral logs). Better "find similar users" -- friend-suggestors type things. Find-communities-you-might-be-interested-in (somehow).

A new photo hosting system.
